I’m looking for kinda wide twin tip ski that has no less than a 95 underfoot. I want the stiffness to be at 5/10 - 6/10 (1 being softest 10 being stiff) and a good shape. I don’t like the shape of any line skis. I also want the ski to be durable. Any suggestions?

I really love my Ranger 102FRs. I've been snowboarding the last 20 years and I jumped back into skiing this year and they have been great. For someone who has been out of the game I probably should've gone a little narrower underfoot cuz my legs aren't quite in good enough shape to push them as far as they can go, but these are absolutely sticking as my daily drivers for the next several years and I'll probably just try to find a cheap used pair of 90 waists to have around for shitty conditions since I'm an east coaster.
 
Factions have a bad reputation with their durability but they have really stepped up their game in last couple years. Prodigy 2.0s could be a good option.
 
Faction Prodigy 3.0 sounds perfect. Durability can be a bit hit or miss but it isn't horrible. The top sheets tend to chip a bit but the skis them selfs durability isn't too bad. It isn't the best quality but it is tolerable. Definitely better than line is my opinion quality wise. The faction warranty is extremely good though.
 
I am on 2021 givers right now. I love the way they preform but they are breaking easily and already delaminating after only about 20 days in the park. But yeah it’s between arv 106, prodigy 3.0,and the upper, its definitely a good ski

Jeff 102

sike I saw you wanted soft, reckoner 102 if you want it now but V wides could work. Also I found the 106 arv to be kind of stiff
